1-4 and u fire ur coach. wow. that is just plain out stupid. Mike Brown is a solid coach overall, could develop into one of the better coaches. Guess he is just the scapegoat of this failed experiment of Princeton offense. Another thought, Celtics are only 2-2, and our schedule is way softer than that of the Lakers. If u impatient like that, we should prolly fire Doc right now. I mean that move by Lakers is just stupid. bonehead move.

Honestly though, I think the offensive vs. defensive stuff is somewhat irrelevant. What they need is someone who can handle the egos, and who can put in a system that is built around the strengths of his players. Mike Brown was neither, which is why he is gone. Jerry Sloan is neither, which is why he would be a disaster.

Anyone think he could be our assistant coach? He's not good at running things but he's actually a defensive guru for a team that needs its bench to come together on D.

I could see him in the role as that former head coach that Doc brings on as a playoffs consultant.

And then after two years they'll have room for multiple max contracts and multiple players who will want to play there.

We are three years away from multiple threads complaining about how unfair a Kevin Love and Dwight Howard frontcourt is and how it was all a David Stern conspiracy.

1. Two years is a long time.

2. With the new salary rules in the NBA, I suspect that we're going to see far fewer guys willing to give up extra dollars to ring chase until they're at the very end of their careers.

Well, what we actually have been seeing is a lot more guys who were previously in between vet minimum and MLE type players being forced to take the minimum, because the new rules are squeezing the middle class, so to speak. So, when they are forced to take the minimum, then they end up choosing to chase a ring, and the rich get richer.

TP. I second this post in its entirety.

This is why D'Antoni would be a pretty good fit, IMO. He has an established relationship with Nash and Kobe idolized D'Antoni while growing up in Italy. He also worked with Dwight while with USA Basketball. That's half the battle.
